Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • whether the site provides a suitable location for the proposed development
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, to which the Framework assigns great weight, combined with conflict with the settlement strategy of the Cornwall Local Plan, outweighed the benefits of housing supply.
